Mustang Myths Dispelled

That's not true either. It's for dampening side to side horizontal movement. A lot of people say that once you do control arms you can ditch them, but some find that even then they get wheel-hop with the quads missing.

There are quite a few Mustang Myths

-Axle dampener
-Quad Shocks
-EGR coolant hoses
-ACT sensor mods

WHat else?

^^^Got me thinking... Do we have a "Mustang Myths" thread? I'd like proof on some of these topics. Especially the EGR. I've read jrichker's write up on that and found it very informative.

Are there any other write ups? Dyno charts for egr? ACT? Quad shock et's?

Here is a link to a MASS AIR METER thread that spelled a lot of things out for me.

This is in no way trying to help out the competition because the site has been dead for years. I just thought everyone here could use the info.

The Air Silencer was never a good idea. Period.

What about the stock alternator?

Or the convertible header bar - it seals against the top part of the windshield and is horribly designed?

The stock T-5 tranny that was rated at 300 ft-lbs of torque when the 5.0L motor was generating that much?

That's how they sold the cars so cheap back then. Almost anyone could afford a mustang back then.

I agree about the header bar. My first 2 mustangs were verts. And the t-5 was a joke.

Air silencer? S T U P I D idea.

MyBad70's just went out along with his battery yesterday because he like many of us is running an electric fan

Mine broke when I was doing something, and it wouldn't close, I got pissed that my perfect ash tray door broke and I didn't want to be like all you losers so I got some long needle nose pliers and bent that damn spring back in, now it works perfectly again, IDK whay you guys have such trouble with it, i didn't even take out my center console to fix it...

Now fixing ash tray doors, $5 for 5 min. of my time lol

I always wondered why I never have trouble with mine beast. I thought the curse of the bad ashtray applied to 4-eyes as well. *sits back with a cold one and laughs at all the suckers with broken ashtrays*

Ash trays suck... EGR sucks.... T5 sucks....Heater Core sucks...

But I'll be damned if I don't still love my Mustang!
